399 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 6-unit, 3-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 399 12th Street in South Slope, owned by Beatriz Romero, has experienced persistent heat and hot water system issues over the past several years. Most recently, in early 2024, there were multiple complaints (February 1, January 30-31) regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the building, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) responding each time and receiving reports that the conditions had been restored.
These recurring heating system issues span back to 2020 and have become particularly pronounced during winter months, with documented complaints in 2022 and 2023 as well. The building underwent multiple inspections and received several violations related to heating system maintenance and safety, including a February 2024 violation regarding defective self-closing doors in the boiler room and a December 2023 violation for a missing heating system contact notice in the public hall.
While there were violations noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024 related to heating equipment and safety, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual bedbug reports (for 2021-2023) indicating zero infested units, and the most recent report from December 2023 confirmed no infestations during the filing period. Despite the ongoing heating issues, the building's other systems appear to be functioning normally based on the available data, with the majority of HPD complaints being promptly addressed, though access issues were noted in some cases.
